Customer Reviews Nike Metcon 2

Was looking for a new shoe for working out with my trainer. This shoe seems functional and practical. Had to exchange shoe for a half size larger and Zappos did so FAST! Great shoe!

Good shoe, poor quality control. The shoe arrived as expected, fit very well and went through the first trip to the gym with no issue (typical Zappos). However, there was some obvious discoloration on the top portion of the toe of one of the shoes. These are for the gym, so i'm not returning/exchanging - but be aware if you plan to wear them outside of workouts.

I love these for in the gym. They look awesome and the support for one legged balance poses is fantastic. I fit the a 7½ in the Nike Free Flyknits and a 7 in these Metcons so, they felt small for Nike shoes.

Comfortable, good support, good looking shoe. Wanted to try something different than the nano. So far, so good.

I really like these for most workouts. They are really stable for lifting. I am still debating whether I like them for running. They might be too flat.

I ordered these as a replacement for Nike Free Trainers. I wear them exclusively for strongman competitions, so needed something supportive without being extra squishy. These fit the bill and are really nice for moving events and have a ton of grip. The heel does seem a little low, but if you tie the shoe tight enough, your foot doesn't slip out.

Good stable shoe. Works well transferring to different kinds of lifts.

Excellent choice for any CrossFit athlete. These shoes work well for both lifting and conditioning WODs, and even work well for shorter-distance runs. They are a bit stiff when you first wear them, but they don't take long to loosen up and they also hold up very well from the strenuous workouts that go along with doing CrossFit. True to size, and a good width - narrow feet might find them a bit wider than the usual athletic shoe, especially when comparing them to the Nano, but I have a wider foot so it was no problem for me.

First time buying the metcon over inov8. The Metcons have a stiff sole and firm heel but it breaks in easy. So far I'm pleased with the shoe.

Heavy, but durable. There's a lot of unnecessary rubber on the shoe. It fits like most Nike sneakers, and the toe box is not crazy wide.

Good trainers for gym: stable, flat sole, light-weight and stylish. Size runs small. I usually wear a 10.5 - 11 but needed a 12.

I ordered an 8.5 which was a touch to small and of course Zappos unbelievably awesome customer service sent me a 9 before I even could get the 8.5 back to them. Zappos for president for real! The shoes are nice very stable for lifting still not a good shoe to run in but I think that is the norm for crossfit shoes.

Nice style, though not exactly what picture shows. I thought I'd be getting a unique one where the swoosh is placed in the front but is in the same place as all of them, on the outer side of the shoe.

These shoes run narrow. So much so that I returned them. If you have narrow enough feet, it seems like they would be good shoes.

Minimalist shoe. Not much cushioning but good for crossfit. No stability lost performing lifts and other movements. Not ideal for workouts that include much running. Nike is usually too narrow for my foot but these fit very well and true to size.

Shoes started off great, but then they started to squeak, and the squeak got louder and louder. I originally thought it was the tread on the flooring, but it is actually the shoe itself. Must be the material that was used in the construction. Other than that annoying issue, the shoe fits well and is comfortable.

I tried these after wearing nanos for several years. Out of all the nanos, I prefer the 2s. I thought I try the Nike as several people at my box have them. I am female and wear a size 8.5 in nanos. I got the 6.5 in this shoe. Fit was good in length and width. Usually Nike runs too narrow in toe box for me. I feel they had less cushioning than my nanos although neither shoe has much. I didn't keep these as they were a bit loose in the heal even with alternative lacing patterns. Not a bad shoe at all, just not right for my foot.

I'm a 12 1/2 & it's hard to find something that fits right, these do. Good for just knocking around. Only thing I don't like about Nike is the tongue. They make them paper thin & the top edge can irritate your ankle when you go without socks. Other than that it's a good sneak.

Got these today and wore them all day. Excellent shoe. Cant wait to train in them. Got the the gray ones with the gum combo blue. Zappos pic is dead wrong. The advertise the offset swoop. Shipped me a shoe that wasnt repped in the pic. Arrived less than 24 hours. Awesome service. Exchanged sizes in the past. Wish it what I bought though. Not a deal breakr.

Look great, but they're too wide and have barely any arch support. Not ideal for intense training workouts, as my feet slipped around inside the shoe.

While these shoes are comfortable, I can no longer wear them. The squeak with any movement so loudly that I'm embarrassed to wear them. I work in a casual environment and tried to wear them to the office, only to be chastised by my coworkers about the sound of my shoes and they they could hear me coming from around the corner. Having now been notified that everyone can hear my shoes, I can no longer wear them and am left with a perfectly good pair of unwearable noisy shoes that cost me $130.

Ive had these shoes for three months now. At the beginning I was fairly happy with them. I needed black sneakers for work and these were one of the only pairs I could find in a size 15. Unfortunately I'm pretty disappointed with them now. For $130(my first problem) they have fallen apart pretty fast. The bottom sole has separated and started to bubble out and the rubber is stretched and warped. These shoes have also made awful squeaking noises since day one. Ive tried numerous solutions but they continue to make awful noise every time I put them on.

Thought they looked great, and they do, but the fit was horrible. Very tight in the toe box and it seems as though the thick inner sole takes up much of the space inside the shoe making them very tight feeling. After wearing them for a few days I abandoned wearing them again. My feet hurt, my toes cramped from the tight toe box, and my foot was sore from being jammed forward. I have always been a size 10, exactly, my entire adult life. These shoes felt more like I was forcing myself into a size 8. I will offer them to a son who wears a smaller size than me, are I will have to donate them to the Salvation Army.
